Plant the seedling of this charming tickseed in full sun, where it will thrive best and reward you with a flood of flowers. It requires a sunny and warm location with loamy, but above all very well-drained soil. Permeability is key because the plant cannot stand winter waterlogging of the roots, which could kill it. If you have rather heavy clay soil in your garden, we recommend mixing sand or fine gravel into the planting hole. Plant the seedlings at a distance of 30 to 40 centimeters from each other, which corresponds to roughly 9 to 12 plants per square meter. This spacing will ensure adequate air circulation and promote healthy growth. The plant is completely resistant to common diseases and pests, so even absolute beginners can manage its care.
During the growing season, tickseed prefers rather moderate watering. Although it tolerates drier conditions well, in hot summer days it will appreciate regular watering, especially if the soil is enriched with a little humus. The main secret to keeping the plant in full bloom from June to October is the regular removal of faded flowers. This step will prevent the plant from forming seeds and will direct all its energy into the formation of new apricot and pink buds. The flowers are edible, attract bees, and are excellent for cutting into vases, where they stay fresh for about a week. The plant needs no support thanks to its shorter stature.
Tickseeds belong to naturally short-lived perennials, but you can significantly extend their lifespan with proper care. For successful cultivation, stick to these proven steps:
Autumn pruning: If you decide to cut the entire plant back, do so no later than early autumn so the tickseed has time to successfully regenerate.
Winter protection: Although the plant can handle frost down to -18 °C, a winter covering with spruce branches, which protects against moisture and black frosts, will help it.
Growing in containers: The seedling is ideal for window boxes. Don't forget adequate drainage holes. Hide tickseeds in pots for the winter in a frost-free, bright room and water only carefully.
